Inject it into my veins. I read that they are already doing that and getting clamped for illegal parking in many cases.

vikingTON Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Can't say that I have much sympathy for Scottish fishermen complaining that they can't reliably transport their live produce to the continental market. Regardless of whether they're of the gammon variety of fishermen or not, it's a ridiculous and environmentally ruinous business model to operate. Time for them to pivot towards local markets and frozen production instead and if that means that they're not getting top Paris prices anymore then that's just tough. If fewer of them are trawling the seabed for a while then all the better for stocks as well. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dump the rotten fish....at the palace door...that will get the attention I was wondering whether they’re just waiting for an audience before they open the doors and start unloading. blocking the roads with a few tonnes of prawns and mackerel would certainly make for some good pictures 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
